[Bug-wget] [bug #50260] Link failed caused by bad linker option -R

[Yousong Zhou]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #50260 (project wget):

The error happened with wget-1.19 vanilla tarball.

The -R option was probably from m4/lib-link.m4 (search for "-R$found_dir" in
that file) and according from the comment there, it was intended for libtool.

That macro in m4/lib-link.m4 was imported by the AM_ICONV macro in
configure.ac

Below is the related snippet in the generated src/Makefile after configure
run


LTLIBICONV='-L/home/yousong/.usr/lib -liconv -R/home/yousong/.usr/lib'


Note that I have those wget dependency libs including libiconv-1.14 in a
non-standard location ~/.usr/

This should be reproducible with the following steps

 - clone the build-scripts git repo
 - remove the do_patch func in build-wget.sh
 - remove the PKG_AUTOCONF_FIXUP=1 in build-wget.sh
 - "make wget/install/test" will build do the download, compile, install is
test_dir/ without polluting system-level settings.
